‘Israel' blocks Arab ministers' visit to Ramallah; Jordan issues statement
Jordan's foreign ministry issues statement after 'Israel' blocks Arab ministerial delegation's visit to Ramallah. Members of the ministerial committee appointed by the joint Arab-Islamic summit on Gaza arrived in Amman Saturday evening. Their visit aimed to hold coordination meetings ahead of a planned trip to Ramallah on Sunday. However, the delegation postponed the Ramallah visit after 'Israel' denied permission to cross the 'Israeli'-controlled airspace over the West Bank, blocking their entry. The group includes Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud, Bahrain's Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, Egypt's Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdelatty, Arab League Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit, and Jordan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, who is currently meeting with regional counterparts. In a joint statement, the delegation condemned 'Israel's' refusal to allow the visit and meetings with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and other officials. They described the ban as a blatant violation of 'Israel's' duties as the occupying power, reflecting 'arrogance and disregard for international law.' The delegation also criticized 'Israel's' ongoing illegal policies that isolate the Palestinian people and leadership, entrench occupation, and undermine prospects for a just and lasting peace.

Bahrain Renews Support for UN Peacekeepers on International Day of Peacekeeping
Foreign Minister Highlights Role of UN Forces in Global Stability and Urges Action on Gaza Crisis Bahrain's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dr. Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, reaffirmed the Kingdom's strong support and deep appreciation for the efforts of United Nations peacekeeping forces in maintaining security, promoting peace, and enhancing regional and global stability — particularly in conflict and tension-stricken areas around the world. Honoring Eight Decades of Sacrifice Speaking on the occasion of the International Day of UN Peacekeepers, observed this year under the theme 'Peace Begins with Us: A Future for Peacekeeping', Minister Al Zayani praised the vital contributions of UN peacekeeping missions. He recognized the dedication and sacrifices of military personnel, police, and civilians who, for nearly 80 years, have played a key role in humanitarian service and in helping communities recover from the devastations of war. He emphasized that their noble efforts have helped shape a world that aspires to be safer, more peaceful, just, and sustainable. Urging Immediate Action in Gaza Minister Al Zayani drew attention to the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, calling on the international community — especially the United Nations Security Council — to shoulder its responsibility by ensuring an immediate and lasting ceasefire, securing the release of hostages and detainees, and facilitating unhindered humanitarian aid delivery. He urged implementation of the decisions made at the Bahrain Summit and the extraordinary Cairo Summit on Palestine, including the deployment of international UN peacekeeping forces in the occupied Palestinian territories. Such measures, he said, would protect civilians and support efforts toward a two-state solution in line with international resolutions and humanitarian law. Bahrain's Vision for UN Partnership The Foreign Minister also announced Bahrain's aspiration to serve as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council for the 2026–2027 term, a move aimed at strengthening the Kingdom's contribution to global peace and security. He stated that Bahrain seeks to enhance its diplomatic engagement in support of the UN's goals, particularly in promoting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which form a cornerstone of the Kingdom's foreign policy.
